📊 Poll Is Chevy Chase overrated?

[Great White Drake]

Is he really that funny? Why? Or does he have an underlying prick attitude?

His shtick is to be the “straight man” who reacts to things around him. Think David Spade in Tommy Boy.

The problem is, Chevy Chase is meh. He’s just ok. He doesn’t come off genuine at all.
Sincerely-never been a fan.

Mid 90s and early chase. Yes.

Current. Nah

 

[Mook]

Ya, this poll is flawed. Peak Chevy, ya he was humorous. Now, meh.

 

[Spivitz]

Years ago I read how big of Doosh bag he is.
On the set of Caddy Shack, He and Bill Murray could not be in the same room together because Bill wanted to beat his ass.

Think about that, Bill is known as an all around great guy and he hates Chevy Chase

 

[Sprayin]

He is terrible. Of the successful guys from the original SNL, he is by far the weakest.

 

[WhiteKnuckle]

What is a recent Chevy chase movie? I can’t remember him being in anything the last 20 years.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

He’s terrible, I honestly don’t like any movie he’s ever been in

 

[FESTER665]

DEEZUZ and Mook hit it on the head.

 

[SleeperLS]

I don’t dislike him, but don’t really think of him as that significant.

 

[blakbearddelite]

Eh, it depends on the movie, definitely nothing of recent 20 years.

 

[VenomInside]

 

[SMRTSS1]

Has he ever played a different character outside his normal buffoon style? Not that I can think of.

Yes, he’s overrated and always has been.

 

[boostedguy05]

He was good on old snl. Then got worse.

 

[Flyn]

Chase has always been full of himself. Got worse with age.

 

[Marko]

Chevy Chase is 78 now.

I think he’s funny in his movies from the 80s and 90s.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Anyone remember Nothing But Trouble?

 

[VenomousDSG]

He was great in the 80s and up to mid 90s. Should of just retired after that Vegas Vacation movie, because since then everything he's done has been shit.

 

[Flyn]

Even back in his SNL days there were rumors that the rest of the crew detested him.

He’s been in rehab. Not sure if it was for alcohol and/or drugs.

That definitely would cause him to have some haters.

Everyone was doing drugs in the 70s-80s. Bill Murray and John Belushi both made comments against Chase. I think it was more a matter of Chase thinking he was better than everyone else and letting them know it.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Chevy Chase is twice the comedian Bill Murray is. Bill Murray is waaaaayyyyy over rated. Chevy may be an asshole but he is a legend.

 

[Flyn]

John Belushi was my favorite on SNL. Guy could crack me up with just his facial expressions. Sad that he died so young.

 

[Marko]

Belushi was a fool for doing hard drugs like coke and heroin. He Overdosed and died.

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, he was the definition of a comedian. Happy on the outside and demons on the inside.

Animal House showed his talent. I gotta watch that movie again.
